Boycott Cotton On
Aug 9, 2009

Check out the petition to boycott Australian retail chain Cotton On asking them to remove their line of offensive baby and children's wear.
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/aussie-clothing-company-sexualising-children

Statements like "I'm bringing sexy back", "So hot right now", "Practice safe sucks", "I'm a tits man", "The condom broke", "I'm living proof my mum is easy" and "Mummy likes it on top" may be funny to adults but are completely inappropriate when associated with babies and children.

Sign this petition, to let Cotton On know that you will boycott their stores until they remove this clothing line, and let others in New Zealand and Australia know too. 

If you want to know more about the topic on the sexualisation of children the petition has some links to some articles and research that are have found helpful.
